You have a net worth of $232.7 million.
You can afford to write 77,500 families $3,000 checks.
Why is it always my money and never your money you want to hand out?
There are currently 190,000 children in Chicago living below the poverty level.
For the price of the $900 million Obama library, we could have given each one of these poor children in Chicago $4,736.
Am I doing this right?
So many examples of Black male excellence, all alive today, and they choose to prop up a dead career criminal fentanyl junkie and a guy who’s in jail for stabbing someone to death.
I’ve got to cut in here because this framing is deeply misleading.
If a promotion system spends years explicitly pursuing demographic outcomes, then some amount of correction is inevitable when merit becomes the primary criterion again.
Reporting that a removed officer was female or black tells me nothing about why they were removed. It only tells me what category the reporter wants me to focus on.
The real question is whether these officers advanced because they were the best warfighters available or because they fit a preferred demographic profile. If that question is off limits, then we are not talking about merit anymore.
What’s also missing from these stories is the number of “minority” officers currently serving in senior positions around SECWAR and throughout the force who were selected because they are exceptionally capable. That omission is not accidental, is it?
We don’t call them “minorities”. But since you do, I’ll mention it and put it in quotations so we are speaking your language.
The story being sold is that any movement away from demographic balancing must be discrimination. The possibility that standards are being restored is never seriously entertained.
A military exists to win wars!
Any promotion philosophy that places identity ahead of combat effectiveness, readiness, leadership, or competence weakens the institution regardless of how noble its intentions sound.
These headlines are like a tired wizard casting a tired spell that just doesn’t work anymore.
In Britain, Pakistani criminals can throw children into zoo cages to feed crocodiles and the court will release them without punishment, but English men are sent to prison for social media comments.
Denaturalization of @ZohranKMamdani isn’t wrong.
It is NOT anti-islam.
He or his parents LIED ON HIS APPLICATION FORM
The form does not ask if he’s a member of a communist party.
It asks “ IN ANY WAY associated with any Communist party”
His father is a Marxist. It would take 1000 pages to disclose ALL the ways he was associated with communist party.
Notice it doesn’t say directly. It doesn’t require membership in the party. It’s associated IN ANY WAY.
DEPORT HIM
A man is alleged to have thrown a 3 year old into a crocodile enclosure yesterday.
Less than 24 hours later, police say he's been released on bail because he's “not fit for interview.”
The police are going to have to explain this one.
How is releasing someone back into the public before they've even been interviewed for attempted murder acceptable?
What message does that send?
Sorry but it cannot be true that you can allow 40 million people to come over the border illegally in four years but then each one must get an individual, bespoke hearing before being sent home.
Nah, you guys know what? I’m just gonna come out and say it. And when I’m done saying it, tell me if it’s “blatant Islamophobia” or just…. you know… reality.
Let me explain to you some of the things I witnessed with my very own eyes in multiple Muslim countries. This will not be for the weak or faint of heart.
1. They didn’t just massacre one another in Baghdad, they chopped each other up into little pieces and stuffed them in underground vats. SPC Plocica was the only one with a strong enough stomach to fish the pieces out with a coat hanger so we could confirm the report. Don’t worry @Primz94933160 was there too as a witness. Rib cages with rotted flesh, pieces of legs with shoes attached, arms, hands, you name it. It was the most disgusting thing I’ve seen with my two eyes.
2. The obsession with having sex with children or feminine men. The saying over there was women are for breeding and men are for fun. We had to protect our fairer looking male Soldiers from being molested CONSTANTLY. But that isn’t the worst part. I once stumbled upon an Afghan colonel r*ping his 11 year old assistant, I heard the unholy noises emanating from his tent on our FOB. When I moved to interdict I was stopped for fear of a Green on Blue incident. And then we were all “educated” on the fact that this was CULTURALLY ACCEPTABLE FOR THEM TO DO. It was as normal as breathing.
3. Women are less than nothing to them. I would always ask how many children elders had for small talk. They could have 10 kids. 7 daughters and 3 sons. What will they tell you? They have 3 sons. I watched a man carrying his dead daughter in his arms to my FOB. She died due to a malfunctioned bomb we dropped. That didn’t matter to him. He dropped her on the ground with a stone cold face and demanded we pay him. She was f*****g NOTHING to him. He left the body with us and walked away counting his money.
4. Some of them have sex with animals. Ask me if I saw a man from COP 763 in east Baghdad mount a donkey in the middle of the night through a RAID FLIR camera. Because the answer will be yes.
5. They did heinous things in battle. Suicide bombings. Using their own wives as human shields. Using children as shields. Shooting from mosques. Spitting at our working dogs… or worse.
This all sounds crazy right? And I bet my comment section will flow with similar horror stories. It almost sounds like I’m making it up huh? I wish I was. I really do.
I know good Muslims in America. One of them is among my closest friends. But he’s passed through the American filter…HEAVILY. I can safely say he is literally one of us.
My question for you is, how are you not “Islamophobic”? My assessment comes from 4 total years immersed in multiple Islamic nations.
I wish I could say I’m sorry that I’m an inconvenient truth teller against your agenda.
But I’m not sorry at all. You must open your eyes. You MUST see this is a problem. Don’t you? How can you not?
Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

She joined her friends on the lake to see the northern lights. An illegal alien, released by Chicago Democrats, not once, but twice, shot her in the back.
She bled to death on the concrete.
Democrats are a cancer.
American citizenship is a privilege.
It’s simple: if you obtain citizenship illegally, and lie in your immigration proceedings, you forfeit that privilege.
@JohnJHarwood people who who claim to be so-called "journalists" should be ashamed of themselves for having almost single-handedly causing the degradation of our country.
A civilization can survive mistakes. It cannot survive contempt for its own people.
The first duty of government is protection. Everything else is administration.
The social contract is simple: protection in exchange for legitimacy. Break one and you eventually lose the other.
This is so absolutely insane that this is happening.
But don’t you worry — 16-year-old kids in the United Kingdom never see this on platforms like BlueSky.
They’re hiding the truth from them.
